Okay, Jason can't do it, but I will. I think your guy is completely full of crap. Jason knows his sh$t. Something else is at work here. You need to find a shop that knows our specific cars, and get this taken care of for good. just my .02

Take it elsewhere. I can't fathom standard 944 inserts fitting inside of the koni coilover strut units.
Otherwise, some pics of them disassembled would be nice for verification.

Bah! Dude, you crazy mexican foo', you can have the strut assembly apart in like an hour, maybe two if you are overly cautious. Just scribe the camber setting. It won't F the car up that bad in the week you would have to wait for a replacement of what you have to fix it with to put it back togther with a semi-jacked up camber setting. Worst case scenario you are a few tenths of a degree too negative or postive.
Just take the strut apart yourself and see what is up. Honestly, it takes not that long. I promise.

Juan, you can just start taking it apart. Honestly. There are 4 bolts at the top, and two bolts (one of which is the eccentric that controls the camber setting) that connect it to the steering knuckle.
You can rent a spring compressor from NAPA or whatever, but the coil-over might not need to be compressed to come of.
